Gliofibroma. Case report

J Neurosurg. 1991 Oct;75(4):642-6. doi: 10.3171/jns.1991.75.4.0642.

Abstract

The case history of an infant with a large gliofibroma is presented. Gliofibromas are rare mixed glialmesenchymal tumors that have been poorly characterized. The computerized tomography appearance and a detailed light and electron microscopic description are presented, along with immunoperoxidase studies of this tumor. This case is compared with gliofibromas described elsewhere in the literature.
